Philip E., . and Rizal M.K.M., . (2003) Fluorescence measurement - a diagnostic tool for environmental stress in plants. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Poor soils together with harsh environment are common feature of urban soils. They can impose serious constraints on tree establishment and growth. Initial symptoms of environmental stresses are manifested by reductions in the rate of photosynthesis. Hence assessing the health or integrity of the internal apparatus within a leaf driving the photosynthetic process provides a rapid and non-destructive diagnostic system of detecting and quantifying plant tolerance to environmental stresses. Chlorophyll fluorescence potentially offers a rapid accurate method to identify stress-tolerant trees for urban plantings without any destructive sampling. A study was developed to assess if chlorophyll fluorescence measurement could be used as an option to identify environmental stresses in plants. Results obtained suggested that chlorophyll fluorescence kinetics provided useful data to determine if a plant is being subjected to environmental stress. Threshold values have been developed and will be discussed in detail in the paper.
